The Coves ESA

The Coves, ESA, London, Ontario

I went for a walk in the Coves this morning.  It was -1c, feeling like -8c, and cloudy.  I saw Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers and White-breasted Nuthatches.

It was really nice to see the Belted Kingfisher.  It was on a branch right beside the water.  After I took the second photo, it plunged head first right into the water.  Then it flew to the other side of the water and I lost sight of it.

Further down the water were Canada Geese and some Mallards.  This is the only open water I found.  Most of the cove sections are frozen.


Not too far from there, this Red-tailed Hawk was in the tree looking around.

There were a few Cardinals around plus American Goldfinches.  I also saw a Bald Eagle flyover.
